National Novel Writing Month is about to start. I did participate in this one year, and did get over 50 000 words written, much to my utter surprise. That draft novel sits somewhere on my computer, and somewhere in print form, along with a lot of other stories that never again see daylight. However, it was a good 'practice' novel draft, and writing it so quickly helped me see how difficult it is to develop characters and plot in a meaningful and interesting way. I don't really think I have a (publishable) novel in me, but it was a worthwhile exercise.
I don't want to do it this year, because I actually want to write a 10 000 word essay instead. NaEssWriMo?
